A Metaphysical New Age "Christian"

This was one of the most interesting conversations I have ever had.  I spoke with a man named Richard.  Richard was easy to see in a crowd as his entire face is covered in Maori warrior tattoos, not to mention all the other tattoos he has of different gods and deities that he worships.  Richard goes to a Universalist church where everyone is welcome to worship whatever or whoever they want.  Richard believes that love is defines by the individual.  Richard is also a homosexual. He daily practices Wicca, and says he is in reality a god, because god is found within everyone.  I had a great talk with him but it was very dark.  Richard denies absolute truth, but says he is a "Metaphysical New Age Christian".  We talked about a lot, but the main conversation dealt around Jesus.  I told him up front that he could not in any way say he follows Christ if he denies that he is God in the flesh, and the only way to God.  He respectfully disagreed and said truth is relative.  Pray for Richard.  I will be seeing him again for sure.  One thing that did seem to make a solid point to him was when I mentioned that true love is impossible without justice...and how can you have justice if it is defined by man.
